THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABILITY BETWEEN DEMANDS AND REALITY — WITH A SPECIAL CONSIDERATION TO CULTURAL, TECHNICAL, POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES
Gunter Altner
; Sveučilište Koblenz
Sažetak
Although the concept of sustainability is not completely precise, it is rational and comprises in itself the obligation of relation to nature. Since the attention has not been paid to the care for the environmental balance, today we examine the consequences of such environmental behavior for nowadays and future world.
In contrast to anthropocentric worldview, the author pledges for the biocentric concept, that offers good prospects of life reconstruction proceeding with the present continuity. Only through global consideration and responsible activity with conforming to the time dimension of life history — natural life rhythm — it is possible to realize, with no fear, a new creative era. A distinguished ethical standpoint the author finds in Schweitzer's principle of reverence towards life: "I am life that wants to live, within life that wants to live".
